Mang, what had this guy done to Palm to deserve this ? Nothing, but he is the CEO, and that's what CEOs of very successful companies get nowadays. The consolation is that this is just options that will vest over a number of years, so they will help focus his attention on Palm wonderfully.

>>Houghton valued Palm at about $10 billion, or about two-thirds of 3Com's $15.5 billion market value. Palm accounted for $176.5 million, or 13 percent, of 3Com's $1.39 billion in revenue in the quarter ended Aug. 27. Does that mean that the surviving company will have only a $5.5 billion market cap? I think not - it would be gobbled up in a minute. If he's right about the 10/15.5, we have a long way to run. Also, if he's right about $10 billion, I guess 3Com (shareholders who held) didn't do so bad on the USRX purchase after all. <g>
